LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that

provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that some very small number of pixels

may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics of the

liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Getting Started

. To charge using a USB connection to a computer

The battery loaded in the camera is charged whenever the camera is connected

directly to a computer with the USB cable.

• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the

camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC

adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.

1. Turn off the camera.

Check to make sure that the LCD monitor is blank. If it isn’t, press the POWER

button to turn off the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• If you connect the camera to a computer for the first time after you purchase it

while the camera is turned on, the computer will enter a camera recognition

operation. If this happens, perform the procedure on page 67. After the computer

recognizes the camera, turn off the camera.

2. With your computer turned

on, connect the camera to

it.

The LED indicator should

flash green, indicating that

charging has started.

The LED indicator will go

out when charging is

complete.

It takes about 150 minutes

3. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera and

then from the computer.

IMPORTANT!

• Charging is not possible if the computer is in a rest or standby state.

• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after

charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the LED indicator flashing green

at high speed.

• Leaving the camera for about 48 hours with no power supplied while the battery is

dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to

configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera

after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page

63).

Other Charging Precautions

• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s

battery (NP-80) without removing it from the camera. Never use any other type of

charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in unexpected

accident.

• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.

Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause

malfunction and/or failure of your camera.

• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.

Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port

specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.

• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery

time to cool before charging it.

• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of

this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to

use it.

• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.

If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or

radio.

• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
